Portrait Miniature oil on paper of Infantry Officer c1800

Antique Portrait Miniature oil on paper of Military Infantry Officer c1800, this military "portrait miniature" was painted and signed by J Ohcl' . The last name appears to be abbreviated. The back side of the painting has a W S in script. This portrait miniature is extremely well done. It Depicts an officer with his sword on his side, medal on his chest and a earring in his ear. This miniature's frame measures four and one eighth by 3 and five eighths. The painting measures one and a half inches by two inches. The colors and detail are much more important looking in person than the picture show. It is a hard item to photograph. The mans hair is well done and so is his day old beard andgorget medal. This would make a great addition to any miniature painting collection. See Miller's 2000 page 626 for a smiliar style portrait miniature

Thank you for your quick reply. I am really shocked at the price. I knew many people here wanted it, but probably figured I didn't know what I had and they wanted to buy it for nothing. I am glad I held on to it.
Thanks again!
